The third commandment: You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God, is about more than language. It's about identity. In this message from Exodus 20 and Matthew 7, Ethan unpacks what it actually means to bear God's name: not just to say "Lord, Lord", but to live as someone who belongs to him.
Jesus' warning in Matthew 7 is confronting. Many will come on that day claiming to have prophesied and performed miracles in his name, and he will say plainly: I never knew you. The name means nothing without the relationship. And the relationship means nothing without submission to the King.
